A recipe influenced by the vibrant culture of street food and fusion, including classic SoCal, Mexican and Japanese flavours like avocado, jalapeño, soy and lime to create something vibrant, punchy and summery.

This is a simple sharing plate that was inspired by a walk through the woods as the seasons change here in Ireland. I wanted to create something vibrant, hearty, comforting and healthy, the echoed the landscape. The “soil” – a scattering toasted fruit, nuts and seeds – lays the foundation for this dish while the earthy cumin works well with the sweet and zesty accompaniments and garnishes.

This eye-catching salad for two is quick, easy, vibrant and zesty. The bright citrus notes play wonderfully with the salty, rich haloumi. The dressing lifts it with a bit of sweetness provided by the honey. I love to serve it up on one big plate as a main or as a side to accompany other dishes.

A simple tray-bake style dinner that is vibrant, healthy and delicious. Nutty roast cauliflower, crisp chickpeas and a zesty herb tahini that is full of life. Leftovers taste even better as a cold salad.
